HE WRITES A FCLIIE RFQIEST Dreyfus Claims That ths Court That Tried lllm Was Unduly Influenced By Outsiders. Paris, By Cable. Alfred Dreyfus has submitted to Minister of War Andre a lengthy k-tter. in which h earnestly ask3 for the re-opening of his case by means c' an investigation by the Minister, as t'i-2 supreme head of military justice. The letter, which la dated Paris. April 1, confirms the reports that Dreyfus had been living quietly for wme time. It promises to cause a tremendous agitation among the various elements of the political groups for and against Dreyfus. The flrbt part of the letter is aa earnest Idea that the court which condemned him at Rennes was imnronerlv in fluenced, first, by the annotated docu ment ascribed to Emperor William and, second, by the false testimony of one of the witnesses, Czernski. After arguing on the extent to which these contributed to his con demnation, Dreyfu3 recalls In graphic terms the long scried of horrors to which he had been subjected. The let ter throughout is couched In a highly dramatic style, which is likely to make it one of the notable papers of tho case. It refers to Esterhazy as 'one who stands before the entire world as tae culprit." One of the pas sages, showing the rhetorical style, is as follcws: "I will not recall, Mr. Minister, what I have endured since 1894. Pic ture to yourself the horrors of a sol dier whose life was devoted to duty, to work, to loyalty, and -to profound de votion for his country and who in an instant is stripped of his good name and despoiled of the honor of himself and his children. For ftve year3 this soldier is subjected to horrible suf ferings. They seek to crush him physi cally, to annihilate him morally. He is absolutely innocent of all crime and struggles in vain to penetrate the mys tery, proclaiming his innocence and struggling with all the forces of his mind and body for that supreme pleas ure cf vindicating his good name and character. Days, months, years pass thus in most cruel agony, amid the tortures of a murderous climate. At last he is brought back to France, the guilty one is discovered and the sol dier hears himself proclaimed inno cent by those who before reviled him as a traitor. It was thus, Mr. Minis ter, that I hoped to see my martyr dom ended. But alas if I returned to find the devotion of friends who had battled for the truth it was to find also that deadly hatreds had been un loosed. "In the processes of 1S94 I was stab bed in the back; I cannot imagine how such conditions can prevail through falsehood and deception. But so it was and my second condemnation was but an aggravated reaffirmation of what occurred in 1S94. When the guilty one was known and unmasked and Ester hazy was recognized as the author of the treason, the same men who had cheated justice in 1S94 again sought in 1S99 to cheat justice for the second time by tho same criminal manoeuv res. Conscious of these methods, the government cf the republic will not permit, itself to keep in prison one who is known to be innocent. '"In constant thought of ultimate le gal revision, I have reassembled little by little all the divergent elements of testimony contributing to my convic tion. I have remained silent with the firm conviction that justice would surely have its day cf triumph. The victim of criminal tactics and viola tion of the law twice committed against me, now I address myself to tho supreme chief of military justice, and. supporting myself by new facts which have been elicited and by the existence of the pretended bordeau and note by Emperor William I am going to ask that you institute an in quiry first upon the use 3 made of this false document at lennes and the consequences it produced on those rendering judgment; second, upon the false and fraudulent testimony of Czernuski at Rennes." Instructions to Be Opened. Buffalo, Special. Attorney Wallace Thayer will open the sealed instruc tions left him by the late Arthur R. Pennell. The instructions are supposed to relate to the disposition of $25, 000 of life insurance held, by Mr. Thayer by an assignment in trust for Pennell. The document will be pro duced in court tomorrow. The insur ance money, it is believed, is intend ed for Mrs. Burdick. Negro Beaten to D-'ath. Buinbridge, Ga., Special. Monday night at an early hour Andrew Rainey, a negro, was taken away from Con stable Bell by a mob and so badly beaten that' he died. The constable was on the way to this place with Rainey to place him in jail to await trial on a charge of arson. He was sus pected cf having fired the residence cf Fred Lange, a farmer, thirteen miles in the country, in the night time' and when the family were asleep in the house. Near the town the mob over took the deputy and prisoner and de manded the latter under pain of death. Rainey was terribly beaten and his skulUwas fractured. After the beating he was carried to jail, where he died this morning. Injuries Not Serious. t Pensacola, Fla., Special. The dam age to the steering gear cf the battle ship Iowa by the bursting of one of the steam pipes in the Gulf does not seem to be as serious as was at first reported aud the injuries can be repaired at the local navy yard within a few days. The shin's officers will say very little regarding the accident. The cause of the mishap has not yet been determin ed, but it was probably a leak in one of the pipes. The sailing day of the squad ron hasybeen postponed several days. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL Industrial Miscellany. S. J.

Dr. Lyman Hall, of the Georsia In stitution of Technology, was the firet speaker at the morning session. He de clared facetiously that iT the move ment continued its work, the people of the South would be talking of "Darkest New Engl.tnd.' "and referring to "illit erate Boston." He took a mo.st encour aging view of the future cf the South educationally and industrially. The next address v. as by Jo:-ephi:s Daniels, editor of The Raleigh News and Observer, sml a member of the national Democratic committee from North Carolina. He started out by say ing that there have been four oU'ta cdes to educational progress In the South: 1, The nogro. enfranchise? against the protest of the peop, who were forced against their will to pay taxes to educate him: 2. Poverty, grinding poverty, following war and reconstruction such as this generation knows not of; 3. The lack of qualiflcd tcacheis and tho lack of inducement to capable men and women to become teachers; 4. Geographical difficulties. The greatest of these obstacles hag been and is now and must be at last in this generation, the negro. He has been the lion in the path, the ever pres ent and often insurmountable obstacle tc public education." Mr. Daniels took a hopeful view as to overcome all these obstacles and touching the greatest, said In part: "Theie is a class, and in that class, I believe most of the thoughtful people of the South are to be found, and feel that, whatever may be the result, tnc-y dare not shut the door of hope and opportunity to any people any wherethe negro in the South, the In dian in the West, the Filipino In Ma nila. They hoped, they believed, they trusted, that eventually it would prove beneficial, because they have faith that Lgnt and knowledge will surely ble?s wnerever they aoound. The last speaker was Dr. J. H. Klrk- land. chancellor of Vanderbilt Univcr f-iiy. who made an Interesting talk on teachers and the State. The conference then teoli a recess until 3:30. The fine audiences attending the ses sions of the Conference for Education have ccntinued to the end. The Acad einy of Music wr.s again thronged at night, the members cf the conference snl the ladies with them being rc- e-n forced by many of the most prorai ncnt people cf the city, not only edu cationally speaking, but a3 respects ro :iety, the professions and all lines of business and industry. The speakers were Dr. Walter B. Hill, chancellor of the University of Georgia, who spoke on "Negro Education at the South." and Hamilton W. Mable. associate cdi tor, and Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor, of tne uuticok. New crk. Dr. Abbott's theme wa3 "Impressions at the South," and he spoke eloquent ly of the revival of education repre sented by the conference. The highest education, he said, is that for service Industrial training, instead of being looked down upon, should, and would, eventually, he, believed, be regarded as of the highest type in its direction. He paid a glowing tribute to the hos pitality of Richmond and expressed joy m the growing unity of the country, The civil war, he said, taught the North anl South to respect each other as they had ne'. er done before. Refer ring to the suffrage, he quoted Henry Ward Beecher to show that many men In the North believed that placing the bollot in the hands of the n-?gro could not be a success until the black man should 5t himself to exercise the priv ilege intelligently. Th'i b? Hot is a pre rogative and a responsibility, he said rather than a right. Manhood suffrage is the thing, he continued, but it must be remembered that manhood comes first and suffrage second. Dr. Abbott closed with a beautiful forecast cf what the present educational revival will ie sult in, of what the twentieth century will effect in the way of perfecting manhood. He attributed the beginning cf the present revival, by the way, to a certain evangelistic trip made some 14 years ago through North Carolina b ytwo ycung men.
